Answer
Leonard Maltin writes that Frankenheimer's films dealt with issues of their time. This is evident in films such as "The Manchurian Candidate" (1962), which deals with the dangers of political manipulation, and "Seven Days in May" (1964), which explores the possibility of a military coup in the United States. Frankenheimer's films are often seen as being ahead of their time, and they continue to resonate with audiences today.
